Since the Cold War, most historians have set up an opposition between the “American” and “international” aspects of early American Communism. This book examines the development of the Communist Party in its first decade, from 1919 to 1929. Using the archives of the Communist International, this book, in contrast to previous studies, argues that the International played an important role in the early part of this decade in forcing the party to “Americanise”. Special attention is given to the attempts by the Comintern to orient American Communists on the role of black oppression, and to see the struggle for black liberation and the fight for socialism as inextricably linked. The later sections of the book provide the most detailed account now available of how the Comintern, reflecting the Stalinisation of the Soviet Union, intervened in the American party to ensure the Stalinisation of American Communism.
The Communist International was formed in Moscow in 1919 as a factory of world revolution, but was dissolved in 1943 without having led a single successful working-class uprising. This book offers a reappraisal of the body.
Delegates from 20 countries discuss the revolutionary upsurge that swept Central Europe and Asia following World War I. Includes manifesto announcing founding of new revolutionary International.
In this definitive history of the evolution of the Communist party in America from its early background through its founding in 1919 to its emergence as a legal entity in the 1920s Theodore Draper traces the native and foreign strains that comprised the party, its shifting policies, and its secret as well as its open activities. He makes clear how the party in its infancy was transformed from a new expression of American radicalism to the American appendage of a Russian revolutionary power. An outstanding contribution to knowledge and understanding of the Communist movement in this country. George F. Kennan. Provides the indispensable foundations for any understanding of American communism. Mr. Draper has unraveled the knotted threads of factionalism and has presented the story with clarity, insight, and objectivity. He has woven all aspects doctrinal, organizational, personal into a coherent critical narrative. Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., New York Times. An uncommonly good book. Sidney Hook.
